Grinding away on the details, added a item inside the conningtower, and did some research on the snorkeldevice, as a bonus i'll show you guys what i'm building right now.
On the drawings and on some pictures there was a kind of step up visible, futher investication revealed this construction, used the part from Bronco as a mold for the UZO mount.
Making such a construction at that place creates a problem of trapping air, solved this by adding a floodhole just under the UZO mount, added this way it will stay out of sight when placed inside the conningtower.
Cutted away a part of the deck just under the step up construction, allowing the water to enter easely.
Finding pictures of the actual snorkeldevice itself was a bit difficult, most pics are too far away without details, dugged out my archive of books, and found these, combined with the drawings i made a start to rebuild the one from Bronco.
First step was, to make the one from Bronco hollow and adding the open space on top of the snorkel.
I have a complete collection of small hex bolts, used the 1 mm one's to add them onto the future flanges, still working on this.
Freshly made, i still have to remove the CA to get a clean look, the ball is a pellet from a airsoftgun, it's just the right size, have high hopes to let it move on my snorkelhead, did some testing, to be continued.
